Automotive Electronics Compliance Certification

Unified coding standards are the primary requirement when automotive OEMs demand code-level testing from their downstream suppliers, and they are also one of the basic audit points during ISO 26262 and ASPICE compliance certification. MISRA C, MISRA C++, AUTOSAR C++14, CERT C/C++, etc., are the most commonly used rule sets in the automotive electronics industry.Black Duck Coverity Provides fast and accurate Static Application Security Testing (SAST) solutions, quickly and accurately finding non-compliant code and hidden code defects for users to ensure code compliance, allowing common code errors to be fixed right at the beginning of coding. Combined with Black Duck SCA comprehensive Software Composition Analysis, effectively managing open-source risks and license compliance.

ISO 26262 and ASPICE require testing of low-level design requirements, which is typically accomplished through unit testing. The verification of the reliability and correctness of a single function or a module composed of multiple functions can both be categorized under unit testing. For embedded software with compliance requirements, unit testing is particularly difficult.Green Hills Multi IDE Top-tier integrated development environments and TASKING Compiler compilers optimized specifically for multi-core microcontrollers provide specialized automated and high-performance solutions. Through toolchains designed specifically to improve software execution efficiency and reliability, they help quickly create testing environments, fully complying with the requirements of ISO 26262 functional safety and ASPICE certification.

Utilizing Green Hills Probe V4 high-speed hardware debugging probes can provide deep system visibility and control, tracing the execution process of automotive electronic software over long periods, and instantly measuring and bottleneck-analyzing execution performance across different dimensions such as various functions, modules, tasks, code blocks, and CPU loads during software execution. Compared to traditional testing solutions, this approach is more efficient and makes it easier to locate performance anomalies to the root of the problem in the source code.

By TOSUN TSMaster (universal in-vehicle network and diagnostic simulation testing software) and dSPACE dissecto (automated security testing platform and dedicated test probes), the System Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing and network analysis platform can provide an integrated physical simulation and testing solution for automotive electronic systems, including test design, test execution, and network analysis. It assists users in accelerating the setup of testing environments, test automation, and automated regression testing, significantly improving testing efficiency and reducing labor costs.

Utilizing Simcenter PreScan With Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing tools such as physics-sensor-based Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) simulation platforms, automotive electronics R&D teams can verify the software's interfaces and logic before the hardware environment is ready. Test cases designed and executed during the SIL testing process can be seamlessly reused in the HIL testing phase. This allows system testing to begin earlier, detecting system functional defects and errors sooner and shortening the project cycle.

Using Siemens Polarion unified Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) platforms to manage design processes at various levels from upper-level product design to high-level design and lower-level detailed design, and integrating with commonly used development and testing systems, meets the requirements of the ISO 26262 functional safety standard and ASPICE for software requirements traceability. This achieves bidirectional traceability between all phases of the R&D process, ensuring information consistency across all stages of the R&D workflow and the accuracy of change impact analysis.
